About this vendor
As your photographer, my north star is to preserve time in a genuine, classic way. I believe everyone has a story worth telling, and I have the privilege of being able to document those real moments of real people. I’m all about the little things wrapped in big feelings- unexpected forehead kisses, Sunday mornings making pancakes with your love, and the shared laugh of an inside joke. I want to preserve those butterflies, the look you give that person who makes your heart tingle the most and those imperfect in-between moments. Ordinary to the extraordinary- I’m a firm believer that beauty can be found anywhere. I’m ready to listen and help you tell your story, whatever season of life you’re in.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Hannah. I HATE being photographed--it makes me incredibly uncomfortable which is problematic for your wedding... but Hannah made it so e...
asy and seamless. She is so knowledgeable and talented. She told me trust the process and damn was she right.
Our package with her included an engagement shoot but we had already had one a few years before (and had been married for almost two years by the time our wedding rolled around) so I didn't think we needed to it. Hannah encouraged us to do it anyways and ONCE AGAIN she was right--it was a great way to get to know her and we got some wonderful pictures at our venue during a different season.
On the wedding day itself, she and her second were so wonderful and fun. All of my friends getting ready with me and that I did portraits with said how easy and seamless it all felt and we all cried over the pictures. The photos they captured were just stunning and we'll treasure them forever. The photos with my dad for our first look are particularly special to me.
I also did a boudoir shoot with Hannah (re-my worst nightmare) and she made it so fun and casual and resulting pictures I was like "...are we sure that's me?"
She's also just a lovely human and I hope we're friends forever.
HIRE HANNAH OR LIVE IN REGRET!!!!!!
Hannah was an absolute dream of a wedding photographer. We loved our photos and loved getting to know her!
Where do I begin about Hannah...Let's just say if you are looking for a photographer to make you feel at ease throughout the whole wedding planning process and on your big day, she...
is your person. And her photos are more beautiful than I ever imagined.
I felt an instant connection with her and her team on our wedding day and it was the first time meeting them in person. Her energy makes you feel like you're in fantastic hands from start to finish and her authenticity and professionalism is unbeatable.
All in all - Hannah made our wedding day even more special thanks to her talents and kind heart.
I cannot express how much we enjoyed having Hannah as our wedding photographer. My husband is not a fan of photos and we were a bit worried with how he was going to do on the big d...
ay. We were also very set on attending our cocktail hour, so we planned to take majority of our wedding photos before the ceremony. We mentioned these things to Hannah and she came up with a plan to ensure 1) majority of photos were taken care of pre-ceremony and 2) Earl was comfortable and not smiled-out by the end! Everything worked out perfectly, even though we had to deal with some rain showers. Hannah’s second shooter, Cecilia, was also delightful to work with. Hannah shared a sneak peek from our wedding and WOW! The photos are absolutely stunning!! They are exactly what we envisioned, and we couldn’t be more excited to see the rest!
Hannah – thank you for being such a beautiful, talented soul and for making our wedding day stress-free and an amazing memory. We are forever grateful!
Hannah is the sweetest! My partner and I get very awkward when taking pictures and she made us feel very comfortable. Most importantly, the pictures came out great. 10/10 would rec...
ommend!
Want wedding photos that look like they are straight out of your Pinterest dreams? Then hire Hannah immediately! Her style is so unique and she really does a wonderful job of blend...
ing traditional wedding photography with her artistic eye. Hannah is extremely professional, reliable, and helped us every step of the way. Additionally, Hannah is a sweet and wonderful person to spend time with on your wedding day! Hannah made my husband and I feel so comfortable behind the camera. She came prepared with great ideas and knew exactly what poses to hit and where to take us at the venue for the best shots. Hannah had a sneak peek album ready for us ONE day after our wedding! I cannot recommend Hannah enough.

te wedding so well. My husband and I are not the most comfortable people in front of a camera, but she provided the perfect amount of direction during our engagement photos and wedding portraits. She is so kind and professional, and we've gotten so many compliments on our photos. Hannah is the best!
Working with Hannah is a dream and I cannot recommend her enough. Her photos are absolutely gorgeous and beautifully captured our wedding day!
If I could, Hannah would get 100 stars. She is not only the sweetest human alive, she is truly the most talented photographer out there! She documented my sister-in-law’s wedding, ...
our engagement photos, and our wedding. We will 100% be using her for all of our future photography needs and recommending her to everyone!
Hannah is professional, organized, super efficient, and she truly makes the most special moments absolutely perfect! She has a way of getting the most genuine photos with her little tricks that make it just feel so natural.
I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to document the best day of our lives. We love you, Hannah! Attaching some sneak peeks we’ve gotten so far.
My now husband and I have known Hannah since our years in college together. She took photos of us while we were dating, and when we got engaged, we both knew we'd hire Hannah for o...
ur engagement and wedding photography. It was the easiest decision we made!
Hannah is not only a talented photographer. She is genuine. You are more than just clients. You become her friends. She is creative and detail-oriented. She'll find the best locations at your venue or ensure your details lay correctly in a flat lay. She is a great communicator. She helped us not only feel comfortable with poses, but we had fun! She is a great listener. We told her we were more interested in candids of us and our family members, and she delivered! Finally, she is responsive in emails, sneak peeks and galleries.
We couldn't have had a better engagement and wedding photography experience! I highly recommend hiring Hannah!
P.S. I've also worked with Hannah in a professional setting, and I've seen first hand how she is just as genuine, creative, detail-oriented and responsive. She really tailors her services to each client!
Hannah was such an amazing photographer for our small winter wedding. Even though we hadn’t met in person before the wedding day, she immediately felt like a friend. She was so kin...
d, calm, and engaged. She also gave plenty of direction to make posing for family and couple photos feel natural and effortless. We all felt at ease around her and we’re beyond happy with the photos. I would recommend her to anyone. You will not be disappointed!
Hannah was an absolute dream for our wedding! She has taken our photos for years and has now become a dear friend. Our wedding photo experience was nothing but extraordinary! We en...
ded up moving our wedding up by 4 hours the night before and she was ready to make the change even on such short notice. She took her time to shoot every shot we desired and got creative with fun props like smoke bombs along the way :) Hannah made me feel like a princess in my wedding dress and we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Hannah has a true gift for making anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, something I have not felt with every photographer I have worked with. Not only is she passionate about her work. but she genuinely cares about her clients. She is just a gem of a human! If you want your wedding to feel like a fairytale Hannah is the absolute best!!!
After postponing our destination wedding twice & then eventually cancelling — we organized a Charlottesville wedding in 5 weeks. I said a prayer & did a Google search. After talkin...
g with 4 other photographers & 3 referrals-of-referrals later, I count my lucky stars that Hannah was available! She was responsive, kind & immediately helpful. I was so grateful she was open for our *new* wedding date. COVID anxieties aside, Hannah was prompt, professional, calm & very sure in her work! She had a conference call with myself & our on-site wedding planner Emily, sent over a very detailed questionnaire & said she would handle the rest! Never having met her before, she was reassuring & did such a beautiful job. Appreciated her flexibility & professionalism. She is truly amazing at what she does and so thankful we had her services for our wedding day! Hannah’s forte is light, airy, dreamy & ROMANTIC! She was totally understanding of our vision — we wanted the “traditional” photos without all the awkwardness of being super-posey. She took our every word to heart & made our day fly by! We are so appreciative & blessed to have Hannah (& Alex!) capture our day — do yourself a favor & look no further for a wedding photographer — Hannah is IT!
My husband and I can't say enough amazing things about Hannah. We stumbled upon her work when she shot the intimate wedding celebration of a friend, and knew she would be perfect f...
or our similarly small and intimate backyard wedding. Hannah went above and beyond for us, which, especially during COVID, felt so special and so genuine. She did a complimentary "getting to know you" shoot (engagement photos, yay!) that really helped us know what to expect on our wedding day and helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Day of, she knew exactly how to direct the two of us and we were so confident and carefree because we knew exactly how amazing our photos would turn out.
When we had to pivot our larger celebration to immediate family only, it was obviously bittersweet. But Hannah captured so much joy and so much love through her photos, it couldn't have felt more "full" if we filled it with hundreds of people. She was such a joy to work with; and so attuned -- taking care to respect people's boundaries with social distancing, wearing a mask, etc. -- and our family couldn't stop commenting all night how fun and joyful she was. We are blown away by our photos, and we will treasure them forever.
Hannah was by far THE BEST vendor that we booked on our wedding day. The crazy thing is, she was not my original photographer but came highly recommended to me by my original phot...
ographer, when she could no longer shoot my wedding. Hannah stepped in to save this Covid bride and I am forever grateful to the Spirit of the Universe for aligning our paths. She listened to all of my needs and wants and executed them fully. My husband was worried about the photographer being distracting during the ceremony so I relayed this to Hannah, she was able to capture the most intimate portions of our ceremony all while being totally discrete. When I look at our photos they are so much more than images of how we looked or the setting we were in, they are memories of the moments and emotions felt on the best day of our lives. Hannah is not just someone who takes photos, she documents feelings and captures the soul through her lens. Thanks to her, we will be able to relive some of the deepest joy we have felt to this day, time and time again, for many years to come. I cannot recommend her enough.
Second Review (Wedding): I am in love with Hannah- I will definitely be a lifer with her. She did my engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos. All of my sessions with her have been ...
light hearted fun and you forget the camera is even there. My wedding photos are amazing and she just disappeared and caught all great moments! I found her on instagram. Her work is natural soft and romantic. She is not into posey photos more natural movements and captures the right moments in an artistic way. She is worth every penny and more. She was willing to work with my budget and made everything I needed happen! Thank you Hannah for the great experience and capturing one of the most amazing days of our lives!
First review: Loved our engagement photos . intimate fun and beautiful. She truly captured the essence of our relationship !! We had a great time laughing and joking around . Super chill and you almost forget the camera is there . our photos were ready couple days later ! I would definitely book . Her style is documentary/ film some vintage . Its artistic and not the boring stuff traditional images that anyone with a nice camera can take .
We hired Hannah for our wedding in Oct. 2020, and scheduled an engagement photo session with her this past Dec. 2019. I actually meant to leave a review after our engagement sessio...
n, but life/work happened and I totally forgot! Our photos turned out beautiful, and we used some of them on our save the dates - we got a ton of compliments on those! Hannah helped us feel totally at ease. My fiance and I are both self-described “awkward picture takers,” and we didn’t feel awkward with Hannah at all. She had great posing ideas that helped us look and feel totally natural, and not at all cliche or “posed.” Fast forward to today and I am still trying to finish planning in the midst of this pandemic. I reached out to Hannah for recommendations on videographers, and that is what reminded me to leave this review. Not only did Hannah get back to me with several options, but she also went ahead and checked on who was still available for our date, saving me a ton of legwork. Hannah’s already gone above and beyond, and we can’t wait to work with her more on our actual wedding date! ( :
**Post-Wedding Update**
Not one, but two Covid postponements later, Hannah helped us celebrate an amazing day! She was great about helping us map out a photography timeline ahead of the wedding, but was also super flexible when the weather and general day-of chaos made us stray a bit from the timeline. The sneak peek photos that we've seen so far have been BREATHTAKING, and we can't wait for the rest! Hannah rocks!
We were having a small unconventional wedding and I’m not a fan of having photos taken. Hannah was a GODSEND! She was super flexible and worked with us on a short photo session wit...
h a couple candids that was really casual and actually fun! Now that it’s over I’m so glad she was there to capture the day and did so SO beautifully. She put us at ease, was a pleasure to work with, and her photos are phenomenal. I’m so so happy we found her!
It was an absolute pleasure to be able to work with Hannah on a recent wedding! As a wedding coordinator it's important to have a good working relationship with all the other vendo...
rs for the wedding so the day will run smoothly. Hannah made working together easy. She was so sweet, smiled the entire day, was so professional, and was at the exact spots at the right time for taking the perfect pictures. I highly recommend Hannah to any couple that is looking for a photographer. I can't wait to work with Hannah again.
Have you ever wondered how to capture overwhelming joy on film? Hannah did it. I’ve already recommended her to other brides and friends looking for a talented photographer.
Hanna...
h flawlessly captured our special day. She was very clear about pricing up front and so easy to work with to schedule a free engagement session and talk any time about my ideas for making everything special. We eloped in Iceland and trusted Hannah to photograph our celebration back in DC. She found every opportunity to find joy and even moments I never knew I needed to see.
She was also ready and willing when I told her my dear friend (a 33 year old man) would be serving as my flower girl for a walk through DC to the reception venue. The pictures were magical if you’re curious.
From hugs with loved ones to intimate connections and all the laughs in between I would trust Hannah with any special event. My friends are also all now huge fans of Hannah too and I hope to work with her again soon! Thank yo Hannah!
Hannah are her photography are a gift to the world and we cannot recommend her enough! We are beyond grateful that she so beautifully captured the feelings of love, gratitude and p...
ure bliss we felt on our wedding day. We will treasure the moments she captured forever. She was a dream to work with, personable and professional, responsive and knowledgable of her craft. She is also helpfully plugged in to other vendors and gave truly fantastic recommendations for other aspects of our wedding when we asked. If you are looking for an incredibly warm, dedicated and talented photographer to capture the special moments and feelings evoked by your wedding to treasure forever, look no further. Thank you, Hannah!

azing photographer and the photos on her website immediately drew me in with her ability to capture not only the scenery and the people, but also the love. Hannah is very professional and is also such a beautiful soul, many of our wedding guests talked about how amazing she was! We didn't meet Hannah until the wedding day but just talking on the phone was enough to get to know her and feel confident in her abilities prior to the big day, and when it came she did not disappoint. Hannah provided us with direction and with her ability our photos came out absolutely STUNNING! We did not have a videographer and I do not regret it as Hannah was captured the ambiance and the love that we felt that day, and we will cherish these photos forever.

young lady! She is a professional in all aspects of her career and she is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! So happy we were given her name!
Hannah is incredible!! We recently moved to Virginia & our wedding is in Indiana. We needed someone for engagement photos that wasn’t going to be our photographer for the wedding. ...
HANNAH WAS THE MISSING PIECE! She is so genuine & we had so much fun during our shoot. My fiancé and I have never had photos taken before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. She is a natural and our photos turned out better than expected!! I would recommend her to anyone! Love this girl :)
Hannah was the perfect compliment to our amazing event. She was professional and personable while capturing ALL the perfect shots of our vow renewal

are very glad that we ended up hiring her. Very easy to work with, responsive, and professional, but more importantly we were very happy with our photos- I'm not even a photo person, but I might be coming around! She sent us the jpegs very quickly, too, despite the holiday season. Would definitely hire her again.
Hire Hannah!!! She is so talented and thoughtful. We did an engagement shoot with her a month before our wedding so I knew I was getting super professional service and had no wor...
ries on the big day. She is great with direction, so you’ll end up with photos that catch you at your natural best. Her customer service before and after our wedding was amazing and felt very personal. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding album and couldn’t be happier with Hannah’s work!!

I were in awe of Hannah during our engagement photo shoot, and still are to this day.

Hannah, we can’t thank you enough!!! You’re the best!
